Many moons ago, my ex 'absconded' with a lot of memorabilia that I'd collected since childhood. Fortunately I was able to recover the majority.....albeit not from her directly, nor in her presence!I'M NOT IN ANY WAY ADVOCATING OR ENDORSING "alternative" RECOVERY METHODS!!!!!!!
Whatever you do, please use LEGAL means!
After that I realized that experience is the best teacher, and subsequent exes didn't get away with jack squat.
